Homewood Suites is the kitchen-and-breakfast pick off I-264. Every suite has an in-room kitchen, the hot breakfast is free, parking is free and there's an indoor pool, about 6.9 road miles from the terminal by our routing.
It ties six others on 36 and leads them on free breakfast, free parking and, against the Staybridge, the alphabet. What it doesn't have is a shuttle — not to ORF, 6 miles off by Hilton's count, and not to the ship.
Park, Stay & Go isn't on its offers page, so plan on the city lot or a cab in the morning, not a car left here.
Book it to cook a family dinner the night before, and order the morning cab when you check in.
Book it if
- Families who cook
- Drivers who want free parking the night before
- Pet owners
Look elsewhere if
- You want an airport shuttle.
- You want a restaurant.
- You need to leave the car for the cruise.
